FA Pilot Scheme Introduction Presentation to All CFAs and Leagues - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Temporary Dismissals FA Pilot Scheme

• Presentation to All CFA’s and Leagues on Pilot
• Opportunity to raise questions
• Need your assistance to deliver
• Requires open mind on approach

Introduction

• IFAB approved in March discretion for National

Associations to use system for either:

• All Cautions
• Selected Cautions
• FA Approved Pilot
• Pilot for Dissent only
• Some areas of IFAB approval are different than current

practices – we have responsibility to try new practices

• 32 Leagues Selected (130 Leagues registered an

interest)

FA Pilot – Temporary Dismissals (Sin Bins)

• Support the RESPECT programme
• 73.5k cautions for Dissent in 2016/17
• 25.4% of all Cautions
• Sheffield & District JFL 32.03% (147 Dissent Cautions)
• Including 1 in Under 10’s
• and 54 in Under 16’s
• Aim to decrease Dissent and improve match experience

Why Dissent?

Research over 135,000 matches

• Average Dissent Caution count - 0.46/Game
• Caution in every 2.16 matches
• Where Dissent exists – 1.356/game
• <1% of matches have more than 3 cautions for

Dissent

• Chances of those in the same 10 minute period

remote

Likely Numbers in Sin Bin

• Principle is for misconduct to be dealt with on the

day

• Will still be reported by referee as:
• Used to monitor impact
• Used for continual misconduct
• WGS Portal being amended to recognise those

Competitions in the Pilot

• No Admin fee will be charged

FA Pilot – Temporary Dismissals (Sin Bins)

• All Cautions for Dissent must be dealt with by the Sin

Bin Process

• Applies to Players only and not Substitutes or Coaching

Staff

• Referee Signals by issuing a Yellow card in the

normal way and pointing to the touchline where the player must go. (not a defined Bin area)

Match Day Process

• Period in Sin Bin is:
• 10 Minutes for all matches of 90 minutes
• 8 Minutes for all other matches
• No designated area – just back with management and subs
• Period starts when play restarts
• Referee includes any lost time
• Where neutral Assistants are appointed they assist

with timing otherwise teams where possible nominate someone to assist

Match Day Process

• Referee has final decision on when the player can return to play.
• Does not need to be in a stoppage in play
• No specific rule surrounding Goalkeepers – Gets replaced and returns as outfield player until

stoppage in play

• A Player in the Sin Bin cannot be substituted until the period has expired and not at all if all

substitutes have been used

• If the period has not expired at the end of the 1st half, it continues during the 2nd half

(or Extra Time)

• If it has not expired at the end of Extra Time and there are kicks from the penalty

mark – the player can participate

Match Day Process

Repeat Offenders (this will be a different approach that expected) If a temporary dismissed player :

• commits another YC Offence or RC offence during the sin bin period cannot take any further part

in the game and cannot be substituted

• Commits a non-dissent caution at any time on the field of play in addition to the sin bin period

will continue to play.

• Commits a 2nd Dissent caution (and no other offences) will receive a 2nd period in

the sin bin. At the end of that period, the player can take no further part in the game but can be substituted.

• Commits a 2nd dissent action and has already had a non Dissent caution will

take no further part in the game and cannot be substituted

• All other Laws of the Game remain unaffected (i.e. 2 Non-Dissent Yellow cards)

FAQ’s
